THE SOUL.

81 am weary Of life," said tine rose
As she leaned to look over the WALL
81 am tired of the garden close,
And the birds, and the bees, and allr'
She was plucked with careless smile
As beautiful dame went by,
To bloom on her breast awhile,
And be cast in the dust to die.
'Iam tired of the tree, /" said the bird,
''Of the leaves in the wind and the rain
o; tho trills and the tunes have heard
And warbled again aud again."
He was shut from the sky aud the stars
In cage, like a savage thing.
And beating bis breast on the bars
He died, with broken wing.
81 would go to the war;" said the boyi
81 am weary Of clover in bloom;
In the rush of the battle is joy,
And l pant for sabre and plume"
In the face Of the foeman he led
To the wall of the wounded, the moan
OF the dying-and over the dead
He mounted the steps of throne.
For the soul is thing that grows
The soul is deathless flame;
In the king and the bird and the rose
1t was ever the one and the same.
1t was born of beam of the sun,
From the heart of the blossom it passed
To the bird and the boy, where it won
The glory it pined for, at last.

Various Kinds of Cork. Screws.

One would hardly think that more than
three or four varieties were required, but
there are about forty on the market.
They include the ring handle, steel wire
screws for demi hons and large bottles;
the double-ring, handily-encased pocket
screw; the folding screw and the broad
wire handle screw. Some time ago an
ice-pick and cigar-box opener was made
with a screw concealed in the steel tube
handle. The tube can be slipped off and
the ice pick forms the handle of the
screw. Another novelty has brush in
the handle, so that the colored waiter is
not obliged to run his fingers around the
inside of the neck of wine bottle to
remove the particles of cork and dust.
For champagne bottles a screw is made
with b ade in one end of the handle to
cut the twine around the cork. Another
handle contains both the knife and brush
on the handle. The power corkscrew is
an ingenious arrangement which saves
the knees and arms from q tussel with
an obstinate and fractions cork. A cone
of steel fits over the neck Of the bottle,
and the screw draws the cork while tho
cone presses on the bottle. In addition
to his corkscrew patents, Newark man
amused himself by twisting up wire into
almost every conceivable shape, thereby
supplying the tive-cent counters with
novelties and himself with comfortable
income, in addition to that previously
made by his ingenious faculties The
spiral thumb screw, which can be pushed
Into board and easily removed, after
serving as temporary hat rack, is one of
his inventions, 1t is only a piece of
twisted wire. Spiral paper hooks, wall
hooks, hat and coat racks, spiral picture
nails, spiral carpet tacks and stair but
tons, card suspenders and holders, bill
files, soap holders, pickle forks, toasting
and vegetable forks and shoe button
hooks are his inventions, and are manu-
factured in Newark. .-Nen York Mai

KALAKAUA FALLEN.
The Gibson Ministry Ovorthrown and
tho King at tho Command of the
POpulaccs

The Gibson Ministry Ovorthrown ana
tho King at tho Command of the
POpulHce.
The expected revolution in the Hawaiian
kingdom has actually occurred. The popu-
lace organized and demanded the downfall
of the ministry and the abdication of the
King. Residents of Honolulu and the sur
rounding country assumed the powers Of gov
ernment. The volunteer military forces of
the kingdom were with them.
AS result, the Gibson ministry has fallen,
and cabinet named by the people, headed
by William M. Green, has been appointed.
King Kalakaua is permitted to remain on the
throne, although divested OF all present
power, having acceded to the demand for a
new constitution and to abide by the will of
the people. The king was thoroughly alarmed,
and acting on the advice of the ministers of
foreign powers, lost no time in framing new
constitution. Walter NJ. Gibson, his son-in-
law, and F. H. Hayseldon are under arrest,
having been siezed by the civic troops when
attempting to escape King Kalakaua has
formally appointed William L. Green prime
minister and minister of foreign affairs, who
completed the cabinet as follows: L. A.
Thurston, minister Of the interior, Godfrey
Brown. minister of finance, and G. V. Ash
ford, attorney general.
Nothing is known at Washington of the
revolution III Hawaii beyond what was
printed in the papers Three naval vessels
are known to be in the neighborhood of Hon
olulu, and it is believed they are fully able to
protect the interests of the United States. 1t
is the general opinion in Washington that
the affair has no significance from an inter
national point of view, but simply is pro-
test of the people of tho island against finan-
cial misnlanagement on the part of the min
isters of the King and the consequent impo
sition of oppressive taxes

To the Very Reverend Clergy and the
Faithful Laity Of the Archdiocese of New
York: Be it knownthat on the 4th day of
May, 1887, the sacred congregation of the
Propaganda admonished Rev. DR.. Edward
M'Glynn, late rector Of St Stephens Church
in the city, that he had already rendered
himself liable to ecclesiastical censl1re by dis
obeying the positive command of the
sovereign pontiff, given Jan. II.
Wishing, however, TO deal leniently with
him, the sacred congregation. rcfraining
from inflicting censure, and offering him
further opportunity to be heard in his own
behalf, gave him q final and peremptory
order to present lulnse}sslsi Rome within 80
days from the receipt of the letter containing
such order under pain of excommunication
to be incurred Ipso facto ct nominatim
This letter was duly delivered to Rev. DR..
MGlynn, and as he allowed the days of
grace to pass unheeded, it became our sad
duty to notify him that he had incurred by
his own act this penalty of excommunication
by name, whereby he is cut off from the
communion of the church, from its sacra-
ments and participation in its prayers, and,
should he persevere in his contumacy, de-
prived of the right after death to Christian
burial
1t has become also our duty to declare to
the clergy and laity of our charge, which we
do by these letters, that Rev. Dr.. Edward
M'Glynn is excommunicated nemiation, with
all the penalties to this censure by the canons
of the church.

The Naked Truth.

"You have heard the expression
The naked truth'-and perhaps you do
not know how it originated, said the
Rev. Sam Jones in his Red Rock sermon
yesterday. "Iwill tell you. Once upon
time Truth and Error went in bathing
together. Error came out first, put on
Truths clothes and ran away And
Error has been trying to wear the same
garments ever since. When Truth came
out of the water the only clothing it
could find TO put on was what belonged
to Error. Before will wear such gar
ments as those, said Truth, 4 will go
naked all my life. Truth has kept its
word, and goes through the world naked,
without frill or bang, or hustle, or any
thing else. "-St. Paul Globe

than its mysterious and awful
grandeur, and the lovely coloring
of the lake, the cliffs, the showers Of
spray, in their many variations impress
one as much as the admiration at the
wonderful working of those tremendous
forces which had so much to do with the
formation of these islands and perhaps Of
the whole earth, but of which we know
SO little.
The way back out of these jaws of hell
is excessively fatiguing, and at night dan
gerous, and if we had realized this we
should have brought blankets with us
and passed the night at the crater; but,
having set cut, we pushed on, and, with
very great labor and many narrow es-
capes from dangerous holes and crevices,
we reached the hotel at midnight, pant
ing and utterly exhausted. But after a
good sleep for the rest of the night we
set out in the morning for Hilo, bidding
an eternal adieu to the fires of Kilauea.

Cuba as 1t Is,

The island has more fine harbors than
any other country of its size, and it is no
wonder that the buccaneers of the Spanish
main selected it as the center of their
piratical enterprises. 1t has two hun
dred and sixty rivers and plenty of fresh
water springs. 1t never SHOWS in Cuba,
though the ice sometimes forms upon the
mountains. The babies can go naked
here the year round, and as for the
stocking trade of Havana, its customers
are confined to the higher classes.
Neither stockings nor suspenders are
used bv the laborels, and l doubt
whether there are one thousand pairs of
suspenders worn by the one million five
hundred thousand people who make up
that islands population. They use in
stead be.t-strap, and the majority of
the workingmen of the island confne
their apparel to an undcrshirt and trow-
sers. The better class of men dress in
white duck, with Panama hats.
The lower class of women wear few
underclothes, and calico wrapper and a
pair of heelless slippers are a wardrobe.
There are no carpets on the floors nor
plaster on ceilings. Iron bars take the
place of glass windows, and there is not
q chimney nor cooking stove in Ha-
vana There are no barns, and the
horses are washed in the harbors instead
of being curricd. There are no bricks
used in the sidewalks, and the average
sidewalk is three feet wide and of stone.
The building stone used is porous one
and this is covered with stucco. Havana
has parks, but there is no grass in them,
and as for shade, it can be got only by
going to the mountains.
The policemen carry swords and guns,
and the offices of all kinds are filled by
Spaniards. There are no mattresses on
the Cuban beds, and as for feather pill
lows, there are not feathers enough used
here to make wad for the carache.
There are few china pitchers used in
Havana, and the drinking mug is of por-
Gus clay, with hole at the top, out of
which the water is poured into the mouth
in trickling stream. Red brick tiles
take the place of shingles and the tops
of the houses are used in the evenings
for sitting rooms. The gardens of Ha.
vana are inside the houses, instead of be.
hind them.
The Cuban takes oranges, bread and
butter and coffee for breakfast. He
pares his oranges as we do apples, and
you find plates of pared oranges before
you on the table when you sit down to
the morning meal. The way to eat these
oranges is to drive q fork into them,
plant your teeth firmly into the luscious
fruit and suck the juice. The Cuban
breakfast is taken on rising, and there is
another breakfast about or 10 o'clock
This is more like the American meal, and
the whole city knocks off for it. Passing
along the street at this time you may SEE
families at their meals through the oper
windows and doors, and an hour or two
later the whole town seems to be taking
a s:esta. Dinner is eaten between 5 and
o'clock, and the stores keep open un.
til about 8 o'clock in the evening"
